*DISCLAIMER*If this is your first episode, please note, we generally try to be a little more impartial and educational, but we're also bitter angry people and occasionally there's some spillage. So yeah, lot's of strong opinions and rage here. Start with an earlier episode if this doesn't appeal, and know we probably won't be doing this againIn what may have been our worst episode idea yet, we decided to examine 12 albums by bands we hate, or at least thought we would hate. We thought it would be a 3 hour bitch session, tried to make it an in depth examination of why we hated these bands, but it's basically a 3 hour bitch session. We talk about Insufferable fanbases, lyrical laziness, outdated humor, sleazy behavior and delusions of grandeur, plus we use the word objective 15 times and there's a somewhat coherent rant about Eastern philosophies incompatibility with one of the host's deep rooted sense of cosmic horror. We end with 3 palette cleansers from bands we love.

The Meads of Asphodel - In the Name of God, Welcome to Planet Genocide EP

Zach & guest host Max Shoop (ex-Horde of the Eclipse, ex-The Beyond, Storm of Damnation) with an on-site interview at a Zud show with Mary Spiro, founder of the Shadow Woods, both the Metal Fest and the production company. We talk about the festival, the financial and logistical issues of setting up a show of this size, and more. Also with us are local promotor's Dustin Davis, the man behind the metal at Guido's Speakeasy and beyond, and Nick from Lokvlt promotions in Philly. We also talk about setting up and promoting shows in a small town vs a larger city, sexism in the metal scene, the problems with pay 2 play, delusional promotors and more.

Highly Recomend this epsiode to anyone looking to get into promotion and for bands that want to know what an honest promotor looks like, and how to present your music to prospective promotors. Huge thank you to Mary, Dustin, and Nick for talking to us

Our 10th episode and our first "WildCard" where everyone picks their own topic. We we're joined by close friend and musician Max Shoop (Horde of The Eclipse, The Beyond, Storm of Damnation). Iain and Max give us a glimpse into the complex worlds of perrenial podcast favorites Akercocke, and The Axis of Peridition respectively, Don shares some of his personal favorites recomended by a mysterious CD Warehouse employee, and Zach explores the skeezy world of Cobra Records, and the underappreciated masterpieces they created. Plus the horrible effects of mold on the human esophegus, two anti-natalists laugh about pro-creation and Bob Dylan sings metal.

*Note. There are a few misspoken words and abbreviated segments in the Cobra segmant. I highly recomend reading our notes for clarification and additional info, plus full transcripts of my talks w/ Gord and Conrad. An Additional thank you to Joe Nutt for his help clearing up the Aftermath/Grudge/LoTCA situation*
